Physical Education Classes at UC Santa Cruz
Students at UC Santa Cruz have access to a wide variety of different boating courses every quarter. These classes are FREE and meet once a week throughout the duration of the quarter. Enroll through your student portal as you would any other academic class.
Courses are mixed gender, hands-on, Physical Education courses. Each class meets a total of eight times at the dock (weather permitting). Good attendance is strongly recommended in order to achieve the best results. Satisfactory completion allows you to move on to the next class and achieve higher levels in the Community Boating Center Sailing Club. Students learn the basics inside the protected Santa Cruz Harbor, then venture out to Monterey Bay for further practice.
